Texas school board removed critical thinking from their state curriculum. That would affect text books for the entire nation because they're such a large market. There's basically two sets of textbooks in the US: Texas books, and California books, as those are the two largest markets. The rest of the states effectively choose between the two. I'm sure you can imagine what some of the differences are between them.

It's been a while since I read that about the curriculum though, so hopefully that, specifically, has changed since. I know it's still probably shit curriculum, but please teach critical thinking.
